Two quotes by the brilliant @fisherdanar.bsky.social that resonate: (1) "activism and engagement must create community and solidarity" and (2) "If we work to cultivate resilience in our communities we can help to limit the human suffering that will come as the world warms"

This report on how emissions could be recalculated with colonial rule in mind by @carbonbrief.org came a year ago. Definitely worth rereading to put the COP outcomes into perspective and ask questions about responsibility. www.carbonbrief.org/revealed-how...

What will the world actually look like at 1.5°C of warming?
By the time we hit that temperature, further climate changes will already be locked in and unavoidable.
